Check out my favorite things about Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside resort:
If you want to stay at a Moderate resort at Disney World, consider Port Orleans Riverside. It is one of the most popular and I recommend it to most of my clients. It is one of the prettiest settings when it comes to Moderate resorts. I love the Southern theme. The grounds are beautiful. You have Alligator Bayou (bayou) and Magnolia Bend (mansions).
Disney’s Port Orleans Riverside has the theming of a Deluxe Resort for the price of a Moderate Resort.
Port Orleans Riverside resort has the entertainment offerings of a Deluxe Resort for the price of a Moderate Resort. You can explore the grounds by foot or by renting surrey bikes, you can book a carriage ride, or go fishing. Port Orleans has several pools and can also use the amazing themed pool at it’s sister resort next door, French Quarter. There are campfires on certain nights of the week. Ask the front desk about the activities that are going on during your stay. Some are free and some may require an additional charge.
You can also catch a ferry from the resort to Disney Springs.
The resort also has cute Princess/Royal themed rooms with light up LED Headboards. These rooms are a bit further away from the main hub. If you want to be closer to dining, I would request the Magnolia Terrace building.
Boatwright’s is the table service restaurant, however, there is also the River Roost Lounge (YeHaa Bob Jackson is a popular entertainer that sings and plays the piano there) and the Riverside Mill Food Court (below).
